I don't know if I've ever been more offended!

The Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) has refused to apologize for an obscene anti-Christian assault in the campus newspaper Insurgent.

The March edition of the Insurgent ran one of the strongest attacks on Christianity I have seen. The paper ran graphics depicting Jesus as a homosexual. One was a depiction of a naked Jesus on the cross with an erection; the other, titled Resurrection, showed a naked Jesus kissing another naked man, both sporting erections.

When asked for an apology by Students of Faith, ASUO refused to give one saying that "there are no grounds for demanding an apology from Insurgent." The ASUO went on to defend the publication saying that the newspaper contributes "to the cultural and physical development of the university community."

The Insurgent would never show a naked graphic of the Rev. Martin Luther King kissing another man, both sporting erections. But offending Christians was of no concern to the Insurgent or to University President Dave Frohmayer.

The ASUO Women's Center tolerates no defamation against gays and lesbians. Three years ago, ASUO demanded that the university radio station, KUGN, drop Michael Savage (a conservative talk show host). The university promptly discontinued the program. But depicting Jesus as a homosexual is perfectly OK.

Here is what Insurgent Student Editor Jessica Brown had to say about the graphics. "I have to say it is really fun to offend people. It is fun to break the rules. If it pi--es people off…good that's the point!!! It has here in this office. So read, get pi--ed and talk about it."

Incidentally, the University forces all students, including Christians, to pay student dues of $191.00 per term, part of which goes to support the Insurgent.

That is SICK and INFURIATING!!! It's scary, isn't it....this is the mentality getting ready to come out of college and raise families...and vote! What really irks me is that in about 20 years these people will have gone 180 degrees....."Oh, I feel so bad for what I did then. I have the Lord in my heart now." Meanwhile, what about the people they corrupted? But, despite my anger, I do pray that somehow their hearts are opened SOON to the Lord.

Because she wants someone to talk about her stupidity, I will not but she will have to answer to God later. Pray for her conversion as if she has that big of a attitude, just think what she could do if she loved God.

That is blasphemous!!! I am so totally offended!!!! I can't believe that our country and universities have come to a point where this is accepted. If this had happened even 15 years ago, there would have been so much fall-out from it. Now it's just a big joke. We Christians are going to have to start standing up and letting people know we are offended by these things. I'm not an "activist" type person, but this so outrageous, I'm going to have to be more active! Thanks for sharing this - even if it did raise my blood pressure up a few notches!!! :o)

and THIS is the town I live in. I am not surprised actually. I am not surprised by anything that happens at the U of O. But boy o boy do not talke bad about the Ducks to anyone who lives in this town. This is a reason why I wouldn't mind moving. If I could take my friends with me I would!

You really should have blown a hole in the wall, that would have been awesome. My uncle gave me a bug bomb (He should have known better). Now, the reason I am so happy about that is that if I get 8 more, set them all off, it would be big enough to blow a wall of of the house!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!

I won't do it. LOL! also, almost all air sol is flammable...would you mind sending me some along with a lighter?

It's is a perfect display of insanity. The very fact that the university voted to remove Michael Savage but refused to correct this vulgar display shows clearly the roots and the place of origin these acts derived, straight from the pits of hell, I'm sorry to say. :o(
